If you are looking for a religion with the most holidays, you either have Hinduism or Catholicism. If you don’t take the spiritual or practical significance of holidays into account, Hindus and Roman Catholics are tied for the most, because pretty much every day of the year has some special significance in the religious calendar of each. Roman Catholics have sainted more than 10,000 people, and every day of the year is the feast day of a handful.

There are also Hindu holidays celebrating the changing of the seasons, the harvest, lunar phases, and other notable natural events. --Scott McKnight
